What a Great Day!

Today started out fantastic. We had over 130 grandparents at Kennedy for our first Grandparents Breakfast. It continued with just about all of those 130 buying something at our Book Fair. Mr. Frame and Ms. Hall are doing an excellent job promoting it (Even though I can't talk either of them into wearing the Clifford costume!!).

The day got even better when I went over to Haymon-Morris Middle school to see Dr. Sheila Kahrs be honored as the National Middle School Principal of the year. She is an amazing woman who puts a passion for kids and teaching as her number 1 priority. That is what it is all about. It was good to see her, the teachers at Haymon-Morris, the school, and Barrow County being recognized on a NATIONAL level. That is a goal of mine for Kennedy.

When I came back to Kennedy after the ceremony, I was able to cover some computer classes because our computer teacher was out with her sick daughter (Get better soon Miranda). We are not getting subs for computer teachers when they are out and our teachers needed to go to a math professional learning meeting. It was fun to be back in a classroom again. When I covered Mrs. Russell's kindergarten class, we used the Promethean Board to review and take a quiz on the book Nighty Night by Margaret Wild. Michael Jenkins of the Atlanta Falcons and THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY (GO BUCKEYES... BEAT USC). The class was great and they really enjoyed the technology. It was a lot of fun!!

Tomorrow will be just as good! They always are at Kennedy!
